Has The Legal Authority Of The United Nations Surpassed That Of The United States Congress?

by Ruby Henley
In March of 2012, Senator Jeff Sessions had a shocking exchange with Leon Panetta, Obama’s CIA Director.  In the exchange caught on video, you can see General Kelly, the current White House Chief of Staff, sitting smugly behind Panetta.  I find it very revealing that Kelly is present at this controversial time during the Obama administration, and now he is guarding President Donald Trump as White House Chief of Staff.
Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta’s declaration before the Senate Armed Services Committee that the President should not consult the Congress but look to the globalist power of NATO and the United Nations for direction when deciding to openly engage in foreign war went largely unnoticed.  But it needs to be noticed now as a flashing alert.  We are fighting for our sovereignty at this time, and we need to know what we are really up against.
Questioned by Senator Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) about what legal authority the Administration of Barack Obama has to intervene in Syria as it did it Libya, Panetta made one thing remarkably clear: The Administration answers not to the American people, the Congress or the Constitution, but to NATO and the U.N.
I have been searching for signs of the Deep State, and here we certainly have one.  The Deep State tends to work behind the scenes to overthrow the power and sovereignty of the United States.  It is very concerning how surrounded President Trump is by those who are rooted in the Deep State – namely General Kelly.  
Here is the video of the conversation between Panetta and Sessions – note General Kelly sitting behind Panetta.

When Panetta said, “You know, our goal would be to seek international permission.”
Sessions is clearly baffled by what Panetta said indicating an international group must approve US combat.
Is this not enough to wake up the American people?  How much more do we need to realize the United Nations – New World Order – is already in power.
Here is more of the exchange between Panetta and Sessions:
Sessions said, “We spend our time worrying about the U.N., the Arab League, NATO and too little time, in my opinion, worrying about the elected representatives of the United States. As you go forward, will you consult with the United States Congress?”
Panetta replied, “You know, our goal would be to seek international permission. And we would come to the Congress and inform you and determine how best to approach this, whether or not we would want to get permission from the Congress.”
 
As we explore the roots of the Deep State, we can go back to 1945, when Truman signed the United Nations Participation Act of 1945 (UNPA), which abolished Congress’s constitutional function in declaring war.
Under the UNPA, the U.S. President can “negotiate a special agreement or agreements with the Security Council” concerning the use of American military personnel and facilities for UN “peacekeeping” and “peace enforcement” missions.
This began the “Deep State creep.”
My question is are we looking at a UN invasion in the United States soon?
 
What were some of the comments made by those who observed this exchange between Panetta and Sessions?
Ron Paul:
For President Obama’s head of the Defense Department to state that international permission, rather than congressional approval, is what would be needed as a legal basis to initiate a no-fly zone over Syria flies in the face of the guidelines established by our Founders… But such actions should no longer come as a surprise. During the conflict in Libya last year, we saw exactly what this President thinks of following the rule of law. President Obama consulted NATO, the United Nations, and the Arab League for permission and authorization to use U.S. military force against Libya. But he utterly ignored the one body that has the legal authority to grant that permission—the U.S. Congress. That was, and still is, unacceptable.
 
Representative Walter B. Jones (R-NC) was also angered by Panetta’s remarks and introduced a resolution (House Concurrent Resolution 107) declaring that the President should be impeached for using the military without the consent of Congress.
The resolution reads:
Expressing the sense of Congress that the use of offensive military force by a president without prior and clear authorization of an act of Congress constitutes an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor under Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution.
Whereas the cornerstone of the Republic is honoring Congress’s exclusive power to declare war under article I, section 8, clause 11 of the Constitution: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That it is the sense of Congress that, except in response to an actual or imminent attack against the territory of the United States, the use of offensive military force by a president without prior and clear authorization of an act of Congress violates Congress’s exclusive power to declare war under Article I, Section 8, clause 11 of the Constitution and therefore constitutes an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor under Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution.
 
After researching for hours, this Bill was never passed into law.
House Concurrent Resolution 107:

  1. CON. RES. 107

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
March 7, 2012
Mr. Jones submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of Congress that the use of offensive military force by a President without prior and clear authorization of an Act of Congress constitutes an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor under article II, section 4 of the Constitution.
Whereas the cornerstone of the Republic is honoring Congress’s exclusive power to declare war under article I, section 8, clause 11 of the Constitution: Now, therefore, be it
That it is the sense of Congress that, except in response to an actual or imminent attack against the territory of the United States, the use of offensive military force by a President without prior and clear authorization of an Act of Congress violates Congress’s exclusive power to declare war under article I, section 8, clause 11 of the Constitution and therefore constitutes an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor under article II, section 4 of the Constitution.
 
I see this as further evidence that the Deep State is now in control.

  1. They’re doing even “better” than that: They decide who has the legal authority to make a decision based on what the decision of that entity will be.
    If they can get the UN to approve a bombing, then yes, the UN has the legal authority, we’ll go ahead and bomb whoever we wanted and the other UN members get to pay for it.
    If, on the other hand, it looks like the UN won’t approve (e.g. because of Russia’s or China’s veto), the UN is suddenly irrelevant and we’ll bomb anyway.
    The US government is behaving like a spoiled child — if mommy doesn’t give them the candy (aka war), they’ll go ask daddy.

    • That is a perfect way to put it…going to Daddy. However, I had no idea that Daddy would totally overpower Mama and kick her out of the home. That interaction between Sessions and Panetta is remarkable.

    • An international body gets to decide where American soldiers are going to go and die, and obviously which causes are important and which are not. Why don’t we hand these old goats a rifle first and tell them where to go?

      • American solders today make a lot more money as private security in nasty spots,but they pay Mexican nationals a woman $70,000 a year (years ago) with benefits to LEARN to fly helicopters in Texas for duty in IRAQ? follow the money, they must have mercenary schools for poor US kids to learn the deadly arts and graduates don’t have to join the US services,for chump change.

  2. The United Nations is a tool of Satan, to bring about one world govt.and more, if you cannot see this then you are blind though you may have sight. The United Nations should not exist and should be abolished yesterday and the Roachafella’s that gave the land and support it should be tarred and feathered and run out of the nation. Piss on the UN

  5. UN is fantastic when it comes to be useful for the Zionists Neocons but other than that the same supporters of war of the ZionCanal turns against the UN with all sorts of high school bullying and childish threats of holding back the payments of the pledges that the US has made along with rest of the members of the UN General Assembly. Surpassing US Congress is another ploy by the diehard Necons who are itching to dispose off the old expiring multi billion dollars bombs and other weapons of mass killings so the trillion dollars American war machine stay updated with newer versions of the improved bombs 4.0 version because we have such a huge stockpile of the old 2.0 and 3.0 weaponry that has to be used to justify the trillion dollar Pentagon budget for their evil factories to keep making more lethal and newer 4.0 versions of these weapons.The same foreign occupied disgraced bought off sold out whores of the US Congress would do exactly what the foreign agents like the AIPAC, the ADL, the JDL, JCA, AJC and rest of the paymaster to these whores in our worthless US Congress and the US Senate, the Pentagon and everything in between would order them to do!

  6. International governance (UN/NATO) versus Constitutional governance (USA). That’s what is being debated here. We’re talking about rule by the people and their representatives versus the tyranny of the swamp – which is global in nature. Since our politicians have all sworn allegiance to the Constitution upon accession to office, those who openly advocate operating upon powers not enumerated in the Constitution should immediately be driven from office and/or jailed. If there is no effective penalty for treason, then a Constitutionally-governed USA is a thing of the past, and the forces of tyranny will do whatever benefits their special interests!

  7. “ALL LAWS WHICH ARE REPUGNANT TO THE CONSTITUTION ARE NULL AND VOID”
    Marbury vs Madision 1803
    “IT IS EMPHATICALLY THE PROVINCE AND DUTY OF THE JUDICIAL DEPARTMENT TO SAY WHAT THE LAW IS”
    What the problem here is that the American People have allowed agents of sedition to freely operate within the folds of Federal Government employment for decades, to subvert the very Constitution itself. Had The People been vigilant in guarding the foundations of freedom and our sovereignty, they would have all been attending public firing squads for the last few decades by witnessing the penalties exacted for willful treason against the Republic. It’s time to get busy, round up the sell outs in D.C. and enforce the law of the land, or, turn the nation over to the Globalists operating the U.N.

  8. We know who Panetta works for, we know the Banker King wants a United Nations Army in the worse way, something that can contend with the US Military. As long as the US Military is the baddest kid on the block, the friends of the US Military will be treated with some respect and get some of the goodies. This is what the Banker King wants to end, the Banker King wants it so he can decide what the US Military does and don’t do, and though he pretty much does that, still, if he were to go directly against the US, the population and its well being, today, if not tomorrow, today, the US Military would I think and in spite of the Politicians and Judges, support we, the people. In the worst way and for his New World Order, the Banker King wants to own completely the baddest military on Earth. Once he owns the baddest military on Earth he doesn’t ever again have to worry about his Banking Empire being disassembled, that is, destroyed. The world for many centuries now has been a Banker’s Empire, though not completely having certain ownership of all the world, nearly. For the Banker King to own his own military and for it to be the baddest of them all, well, whereas we dream of paying off the Banker King and living happily ever at night, the Banker King dreams of having his own military and owning the world, seeing every knee bend every vagina his own, every one of us organ donors for him and his chosen ones. In place of the statues being torn down today, at the Banker King’s insistence, in place of the hero’s today we would have statues of the Banker King and his family to gaze upon. The founder of the Banker King’s Empire certain to be a main attraction, every where we look. That movie wherein a horn sounded and a certain part of the people went into a tunnel to never be seen or heard from again, food, it turned out, food for the dominant creatures in the society. Or worse! Thanks for this article, it certainly is necessary, we just need to hope people wake up sooner than too late.
